if your talking about writing over what you already have on it then no it's not possible. however, if you want to reburn a cd after you have already burned on it then you will have to get a cd-rw, which stands for cd-rewritable. That is the only way you can reburn or "overburn" as you say it.

correction: DVD-RW. Sorry bout that.

"overburn" refers to burning past the "end" of the media onto the unused outermost tracks, for example putting 680MB on a 650MB CD-R (this has been done). So now that you know what he means, do you have an answer (I don't).

If it's possible these guys have probably figured it out.

You'll need a compression software. DVD shrink does this, but for DVD movies. Are you trying to compress a movie? Is it on your hard drive now? And BTW, I've heard of 4.7gb DVD-Rs, but not 4.5.

Overburning a DVD??? Why would you need to take that route thats just flat out not a good idea, especially if you plan on playing back the DVD in a TV component DVD player, compressing the data or splitting the data across 2 disks would be a better idea, there are quite a lot of programs that allow that. DVD burners are pretty critical with a certain amount of lost DVD disk space for the Lead in and Lead out, and if that necessary burn space is infringed upon the DVD will not playback, I would loose that idea, it may save you making a lot of coasters.
